At my previous job we ran an asbestos abatement crew on the side and the procedures in place to prevent mostly VISIBLE particles involved 10 minutes of dress and undress in hazmat suits, a few minute spray down with a paint sprayer filled with water and a binding agent, and then a 5 Minute wipe down of everything you wore and would be using again, the rest was double bagged and sealed while still wearing powered respirators (which provide 1000X the protection of N95)
If this does stay in the air for hours, the second you get it on your hands and touch your keys, wallet, phone etc. You’re going to be transferring it everywhere. It’s not enough to just wear a mask, take it off and go sit on the couch.

what I do is first thing after getting into the house take shoes and jackets off and they go in closest, keys and cell phone goes on the desk, put grocery away, throw out any plastic bags, use rubbing alcohol on cell phones and keys, put reuseable grocery bags away, take clothes off and put in laundry basket and then wash hands and glasses. We don't really touch the laundry basket and the reuseable grocery bags till we actually go out again. Of course we throw away our facial mask and plastic gloves away. That's pretty much all I can do at home.
